Hitler will be returning from Berchtesgaden on his personal train soon, and if you pre-order 505 Games and Rebellion’s Sniper Elite V2, you’ll be able to take a shot at him.

As Dan Marshall, players will lead the R.U.S.T. crew through ground-level slums and the high-rise homes of the wealthy in their hunt for the source of the hollow children.
